Treasures of Instagram

Fri 22 Sep, 2017 · Decoration

Instagram has been taking a huge place into my life (and probably in yours as well!). A while ago, created to share spontaneous life moments (the actual trend is more to let go), it reflects a fantasised and spiced up reality.

The most important is to be aware of it and try to not trust everything we can see on this platform.

In any case, I told you, I will always prefer blogs and more detailed content. However, I use Instagram to find inspiration, discover new places to visit and also to visually get away.

So here why I would like to share with you today 4 creative accounts, which change a bit from standardised profiles and perfect breakfast pictures (that I also follow (and do!) anyway).

Accidentally Wes Anderson

@accidentallywesanderson

Inspired by an idea launched on Reddit, this account gather places from around the world that could be seen in Wes Anderson movies: symmetry, pastel colours, graphic architecture, fiction and reality seem to blend.

The detailed captions also allow to know more about these Wes Anderson-ian locations. I want to see more.

Anna Devís & Daniel Rueda

@anniset

A globetrotter couple passionated about architecture and full of ideas for the set ups. With minimalism, humour and creativity.

@drcuerda

Andrew Kuttler

Pretty similar to the previous couple with a graphic and creative spirit. However, Andrew focuses more into trompe-l’oeil style by playing with perspectives, which always offer an entertaining result.

Blazer & jumper

Tue 19 Sep, 2017 · Fashion

I was not thinking I would be wearing a jumper that early in September (I still try to avoid winter coats): here is why today we have this kind of look with checkered blazer and warm knit, a must-have to get along this Parisian chilly weather.

As I was telling you earlier, I am really happy about this red jumper and I will show you the cream-color one next time.

My style hasn’t changed much lately: still very boyish (without much choices because as we are working on the appartement refurbishing half of my clothes are in a box in the cellar).

Objective “minimalism”

Therefore it might be a bit challenging for me to create new looks with not much clothes in the coming weeks.

This being said, when everything will be back to normal at my place (now it’s pretty chaotic), as I was telling you I will try to only keep my wardrobe as simple as possible to only keep the essentials.

The idea would be to reinvent myself with only a few things in my closet. To be continued… (English translation by Quiterie)

September outfit

Fri 15 Sep, 2017 · Fashion, Illustration

Indian summer, considering the automnal temperatures I think we can definitely forget about it. I was not really inspired by fall outfits ?

I didn’t have much choices, I had to start looking into it. I had the idea of this small collage/drawing of a silhouette I would like to have for these chilly days.

Red and check

I ordered these red velvet pants and fingers crossed they will fit me well.

Like pretty much everyone lately, I was looking for a checked “boyfriend” blazer: I found mine last week at Zara but the ones from Mango and La Redoute seem to have potential too if you haven’t found yours yet.

Automnal forecast

It’s also time to look for comfy sweaters: I already adopted this red jumper and I liked it so much that I ordered the cream-coloured one.

As per the shoes, this season I will alternate with pleasure between this pair of patent leather boots and this kind of masculine derby shoes.

I also feel like wearing khaki/grey/mustard colours and soft scarves (I might fall for one from Acne).

Otherwise, not much change in terms of look (am I boring?): I still want to stripped down my closet as much as possible, and keep wearing what I already have by updating my style with some new elements from this season. (English translation by Quiterie)
